Travel Guide to Tobago | Ultimate Caribbean Holiday Destination

Wondering where to travel in the Caribbean? This Tobago travel guide highlights my experience on the idyllic Southern Caribbean island and why it offers a dream vacation, what to expect, what to see and do and why you should visit.

Join me, Ricky Dunn, and my wife Nat, as we spend a month in the small village of Parlatuvier staying in the charming Tamarind House twhile discovering the exotic island of Tobago - From picture-perfect beaches and lush rainforest to the vibrant local culture and the people that make it shine.

Highlights of Our Tobago Adventure:
🌴 Staying in Parlatuvier: Enjoy the peace of this quaint fishing village, nestled along Tobago’s coastline, with fresh fish caught daily at the local jetty.
🍲 Local Eats at Joanne's Kitchen: Discover traditional flavours and homemade dishes from a local culinary gem.
🚗 Exploring with Island Girl Tours: With the help of David and Anna, we took private tours to the best spots across Tobago, including must-see sights and lesser-known treasures.
🌳 Nature in Castara & Main Ridge Forest Reserve: Visit the lush UNESCO-listed Main Ridge Forest Reserve and the friendly town of Castara.
🏞️ Self-Drive Adventures: Journey around Tobago’s scenic roads to find waterfalls, secluded beaches, and welcoming locals.

I was born in Trinidad in 1980 ...lived there half my life ..live in America now and have been to nearly every state in America and many places in the world but I have never visited tobago and that's my own home country and funny enough my daughter who is born in America has visited tobago more times than me like this make me feel to make it my next vacation destination for sure when I see all the natural beauty and splendor the island has to offer

Over a 6 year period I spent 4 of those in Tobago. It is an untouched paradise. If you want to experience the Caribbean without tourist pressure and a real laid back and slow pace of life, this is the place to be. I am a Trini, but I'm not biased here.. Thank you for your wonderful footage and editing skills. We say Trinidad is the father and Tobago is the mother. Tobago is for healing. Come and destress here. Find yourself in the moment. Nature provides like no other place in sweet T&T. So glad you had a great time in Parlatuvier. Most tourists stay in resorts and barely venture outside. This place is an eco-tourists dream. It's built for adventurers!

This was really nice. The mountain village community of Brasso Seco in Trinidad is another stunningly beautiful and welcoming community rich in local culture with nice and comfortable accommadation available. A bit more remote though.

Beautiful heaven on earth! Thank you for sharing this video about the amazing people and the island

[colindenoon]

[nicoledookie]

This was an amazing production. David and Anna are indeed wonderful people. Their tours are fantastic

[MalinVeronique]

Beautiful video. You did Tobago Justice. Palatuvier is one of my favorite places in Tobago. Walking through the rain forest was divine. Listening to all the nature sounds. It definitely is a place to escape and recover. All the best to you.

Great video! I was lucky to visit Tobago 30 years ago over Memorial Day weekend (stayed at Blue Waters Inn).

[shermoore]

Great video, thanks. I'm saving up to go to Tobago!

[benduquesne]

This was thoroughly enjoyable and informative to watch …well dunn 😉

[soundoffootsteps]

One of my bucket list ❤love to travel there one day

[bostonnews]

OMG what an awesome video dude ! I love it...!! You really got the essence of the island. I had traveled the Caribbean a little bit, looking for the slow pace of the Caribbean. However, I thought every island was the same with the resorts and the loud music and turist traps. I'm planning to visit Tobago this year. Thanks for sharing, and keep it real.

I wished more tourists explored other local villages. Mesopotamia - Fort Grandy has such a strong history. Unfortunately, the current governing body decided to get rid of the Prime Minister's home that it's behind the the soccer field of Hope. The old military barracks, an old sugar mill was recently cleared of it's over growth, the old Saw there's a wonderful beach cove, called Nacka in Mt. St. George that has a reef and a little area that seashells collects itself. I can go on and on....

Your video was tastefully done of my beautiful country. ❤
